Dover, NH – Bill Dube Ford Toyota and Raymond-based Jewett Construction Co., Inc. broke ground on the new dealership on July 19 in a ceremony attended by family, staff, and project partners; N.H. State Senator David Watters; Dan Barufaldi, city of Dover’s economic development director; and Dover mayor, Karen Weston. The groundbreaking marks the beginning of construction for a new dual-branded 40,000sf Ford and Toyota dealership at 40 Dover Point Road in Dover.
Designed by the team of Bruce Ronayne Hamilton Architects and Summit Engineering to comply with the manufacturer’s latest image upgrade requirements, the 40,000sf design-build dealership will be shared by the Ford and Toyota brands.
The exterior will include Ford and Toyota image upgrade finishes including ACM siding panels and the large white Toyota entry portal. The interior design includes a 14,000sf showroom, a 16,000sf service garage with 24 service bays, and 10,000sf of management and operations space including a large conference room, administrative offices, and parts storage space.
Other interior features include a customer lounge, kids’ area, quiet area, imported tiles, and custom millwork with quartz countertops. The dual-phase project will begin with the building of the new dealership followed by the demolition of the existing dealership and construction of a new stormwater infiltration system with the capacity to handle tens of thousands of gallons of roof water run-off.
